  <h2>N Image Pos. Image-Filename   IMG</h2>
Displays Images (pixel image).
The images are always normal to the viewer, with a fixed size or automatic scaling.
Supported Filetypes: JPG and BMP.

N# = IMG ImagePosition [StartPointLine] [Linetyp] Filename [Scale]

 <a href="CAD_Base_en.htm#P">ImagePosition</a>: point for the lower left position of the image
 [StartPoint Line]: the startpoint of a connecting line to the lower left image position
 [Linetyp]:  <a href="Settings_en.htm#Linetypes">type of connecting line</a>
 Filename: the file name of a imagefile (.jpg oder .bmp).
   The middle mouse button in the graphics window activates the file dialog box.
   The directory is a Symbol Path Name (See Symbolic File Names).
 [Scale]: if not defined (or value of 0), then the bitmap will be dynamically scaled.
   If a scale is given, it will be in fixed scale (No dynamic scaling).

Example:
N32 = IMG P(500 0 0) "Data/sample_bmp1.bmp" VAL(0.5)
N20 = IMG P(0 0 0) "Data/Bild1.bmp"
